I was looking to get this set for my 10yr old son. He has taken several lessons. Any advice on what lb pull is best for a 10yr old?

17-20lbs is a good weight for youth. We bought our daughter (12yrs) the 35lb weight and it took her awhile to be able to build up the strength to pull it. Lower weight is easier to start with.

Depends on his build and strength. Suggest you ask whoever gives him lessons... if they are not available, take him to a Bow shop and have them make a suggestion on draw weight. It is better to err on the side of getting a lighter draw rather than a draw that is too heavy.

Generally a ten year old would draw 20-22 inches of draw and would be comfortable with a pound pull of under 20 pounds. That means the best poundage bow for your son would be the 24# model. The 24# model is measured at 28 inches of pull therefore at 20-22 inches of draw, that bow would be 15-20 pound pull. These are generalities and you could purchase a heavier model if your son was EXTREMELY stronger than an average 10 year old. Otherwise stick with the 24#.

I don't believe so, sir. My 10 year old son isn't quite strong enough to pull it. Make sure you look at the reviews. I believe another now was mentioned that is more suitable.

There is an LT model. If you currently have 10 ply you may want to stick with that. Weight wise a 4 ply will work. If you pull or have a load often I would not suggest it.

Hi Blind Dad, This truck is certainly fine for a 10-year-old, But I think the question you're really asking Is "Is it appropriate for my 10 year old to be playing with toy trucks?". Just the fact that you asked indicates your probably not sure, and you may want to encourage him with something more his age level. Most boys that age are riding bikes and playing with their friends. But in the end there's nothing wrong with him playing with a toy truck (I have to admit I enjoy playing with my 4yo too :) Lol

I purchased this bow as a beginner bow for my 11yr old twin boys who weigh about 75lbs each. They have difficulty pulling it back, so I should have waited another year or two. She sounds older and bigger and may not have the same problem though.

I'm sure he would still like the set, but don't know for how long. It is more for the younger guy. When my guy was younger he loved them, he's now 4 and will on occasion pull them out but really prefers his die cast and wooden trains.

Frank, It is absolutely a good guitar for a 10 years old with this price. When I bought this guitar, my son was also 10 years old. This guitar was recommended by his guitar's instructor when my son started the lesson. Hope that your boy/girl would enjoy it.

This bike will give your son something to grow with. You can always put training wheels on it and then take them off when he's ready. I have a 10 year old and 8 year old that love riding this bike, but they would've been fine with its size at 6 as well.

it is a great rod for the price but might be a little much to handle for a 10 year old. I use it up in Mass to surf cast. If you decide to get it i don't think you will be dissipointed

The easy backpack style slide adjusters (3 each side) would probably lean down enough for an average sized 10-year old. Afterwards, just loop the leftover straps around and knot it single throw (Loop-Swoop-Pull).

My son bought the reel and he says it works great. He uses it with 10 pound test freshwater bass fishing all the time.

Since this item costs a considerable amount, I'd go with the 158lb & up. It will take you a while to get used to them and you'll have them for years to come. My son is 6'2" and 147 pounds and wears/plays with his periodically and has no complaints. Plus, his heavier friends can use them without concern of overweight limits and breaking.

It is close. 30 or 35 might be better. Two things to consider. Can he hold a 3 lb weight with his left arm extended for 3 minutes without shaking? The arm needs to be extended like he is going to shoot. The challenge with thin mid teens is that they often have more length than strength in their arms. If he is active, then he should be ok on this one. The other is draw weight. You want to start with an easy pull to develop form, rhythm and proper anchor points and then move up in draw weight as he grows in thickness and strength.

Hard to say really. My son is 8 now and probably will use it next year too. We like it for now, but may look at jumping into a higher level Easton at 10 or 11. You could always go to a Dicks Sporting Goods to swing it. Your son would probably do OK with it for this year but I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to "upgrade" next year. Good luck!

I recommend the intermediate size for your daughter. My daughter just turned 11; she is 4'11" and weighs 83 lbs. The youth will give her 1-2 more years at the very most. This is a great set for the money. I spent 4 months shopping around and trying different brands and styles of catching gear on my daughter. I was and am still very happy with my investment. My daughter loves her gear too.

I haven't tried anything less than 3 pound pull. consider it like a scale that has a marker that marks the maximum effort for the trigger to trip. usualy do best out of 3 in case of operator error. sometime I might pull to hard and get a heavier reading depending on how supported I have the weapon

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.
